That's not the story I remember but it isn't the point either. This is: Barkley's career went better going to Chelsea than it would have staying here. Everyone should get over it.

Being loaned to Villa after being a quota signing?

Its one thing to like football, like you do, and view from afar, which you do. You almost certainly have a better insight on millions of teams and players that I do, cos I dont care about much outside L4.

What you dont know about is the weird mindset of English football fans, at all clubs. Player disrespects a club = player could win the World Cup and he would still be a rat/crap/thick.

Its the rules.
 
I note that none of the tabloid press have (as yet) interviewed Bethany-Jo about Roscoe's move to the Midlands. I might be drawing a long bow here, but i am thinking their relationship, (post their Ibiza sojourn), is not all rosy. Maybe BJ is refusing media interview requests due to this. Who knows though?...it could just be her gangsta, RS supporting son might have instructed her to keep shtum on the subject. Time will tell i guess...

What you seem to be missing is that all of this can be true and he could still have had a better career than had he not left us.

No, I've just not bothered arguing that point because I simply don't care.

I've not argued he hasnt had more success in his career since leaving us. That's not been what anyone has said, everyone is just enjoying his plummet.

But if you want to debate it then the success he has had has largely been down to the other members of the squad that played most of those games he wasn't involved in. He lays claim to as much of those Chelsea cup successes as Djimi Traore can for Liverpool winning the Champions League with him.

Mason Mount started 32 premier league games for Chelsea last year and the most Ross has ever started for them in a season is 13. You can call that a success if you want but the fact is a player from the Championship walked into that team ahead of him and now he's been sent to Villa.

If you'd have asked him when he signed his contract if he would consider being sent on loan to a relegation favourite because nobody wants to buy him 2 years later a success then I doubt he'd agree with you. Two medals for bench appearances notwithstanding.
 
Actually think he'll do well at Villa, hopefully starting with getting the winning goal against the RS on Sunday.

All that won't change the fact that Barkley is an utter knob though.
 

Daily Mail mentioning Roscoe's move...referenced the merseyside 'fatwa' and (drawing a rather long bow, imo), speculating on 'Peaky blinder'-like Midland gangstas possibly serving as fatwa agents for their merseyside 'boyz in the hood' brothers (their reference, not mine).
Still no comments from Bethany-Jo...I suspect the Ibiza sojourn exposed frailties in the relationship...
 
Update: internet trolling through local midland rags, a Wolverhampton tabloid mentions a reconciliation between Roscoe and Bethany-Jo (under the rather salacious headline "Ross gets BJ"). Bethany-Jo told the reporter that Ross "is the most intelligent fella I have ever unzipped for"...and then the old photo of her leather knickers with the easy access zip was shown lol lol.
Great stuff!!
 
I give Ross hell in here but it’s set up for him to keep us ahead of them tomorrow isn’t it? All would be forgiven.
